Siheyuan: Dongfang Bubai is in his arms, and all the beasts are eliminated

Yang Limin smiled slightly, his eyes full of determination: "Thank you, Xiao'e. With your support, I feel more at ease. Let's work together to keep life in the courtyard harmonious."

The two encouraged each other and prepared to meet the upcoming challenges. Although the road ahead was full of uncertainty, they believed that as long as they were united and worked together, any difficulties could be overcome. The sunshine in the courtyard was still warm, shining on them, as if adding a layer of golden brilliance to their determination and courage.

Lou Xiao'e no longer had feelings for Yan Bugui, and instead blamed Qin Jingru and Bang Geng for conspiring to push her off the stage.

The sunlight in the courtyard gradually disappeared into the western sky, and night slowly fell. Lou Xiao'e walked on the path in the courtyard, feeling complicated and heavy. She had just talked with Yang Limin, and the uneasiness in her heart did not dissipate, but deepened.

She returned to her room, lit a dim oil lamp, and sat at the table, her heart full of memories of the past and confusion of the present. Her marriage with Yan Bugui had long been in name only, and on the surface they maintained harmony, but in fact they had no feelings for each other. Yan Bugui's job change made her feel relieved, but it also brought new troubles. Not only did she have to face the possible changes in the courtyard, but she also had to deal with the complex emotions in her heart.

Just as she was thinking, Qin Jingru pushed the door open with a trace of worry on her face: "Sister Xiao'e, I want to talk to you again."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head, looked at Qin Jingru, and nodded slightly to signal her to sit down. Qin Jingru walked to the table and whispered, "Sister Xiao'e, I know you have no feelings for Yan Bugui, but the current situation is indeed very complicated. We must face it calmly."

Lou Xiao'e sighed, a trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes: "Jingru, I know you are doing this for my own good, but there are some things you may not understand. In fact, I have always blamed you and Banggeng for conspiring to push me off the stage."

Qin Jingru's expression became complicated in an instant. She sat up straight and looked at Lou Xiao'e seriously: "Sister Xiao'e, I know you have resentment in your heart, but you have to believe me, I have never thought of harming you. The Banggeng incident did catch me off guard, but I never meant to hurt you."

A trace of sadness flashed in Lou Xiao'e's eyes. She lowered her head and said in a trembling voice: "Jingru, you don't know, I thought you were my best friend, but what you and Banggeng did made me completely disappointed. I don't know if I can trust you again."

Qin Jingru felt a pain in her heart when she heard this. She held Lou Xiao'e's hand with sincerity in her eyes: "Sister Xiao'e, I know I have done a lot of things wrong, but I really hope you can give me a chance to make up for my mistakes. Let's face the difficulties together, okay?"

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and looked at Qin Jingru's sincere eyes, and her heart gradually softened. She knew that the past could not be changed, but the difficulties at hand needed to be faced together. She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Jingru, I am willing to give you a chance. But we must be honest with each other and face the difficulties of the courtyard together."

Qin Jingru nodded, with a relieved smile on her face: "Thank you, Sister Xiao'e. I will do my best to help you and Yang Limin and restore peace to the courtyard."

Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Okay, Jingru, let's work together. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as we unite, we will be able to overcome all difficulties."

As the night deepened, the lights in the courtyard lit up every corner. Under the warm lights, Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru regained their trust and friendship. They knew that although the road ahead was full of challenges, as long as they had each other's support and companionship, nothing could defeat them.

The next morning, Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru walked out of the house and started to get busy. They decided to start from the inside of the courtyard and gradually solve the conflicts and problems. They visited every household, understood the difficulties and needs of each household, and recorded them, preparing to discuss solutions at the next mutual aid group meeting.

The residents in the courtyard saw that Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru had reunited and expressed their support and approval. Everyone gradually realized that only by unity can the courtyard's life return to peace and harmony.

At a mutual aid group meeting, Lou Xiao'e announced a series of new measures, including improving the infrastructure of the courtyard, holding community activities regularly, and strengthening communication and cooperation between neighbors. Her proposals were unanimously recognized by everyone, and the meeting atmosphere was warm and positive.

Yang Limin looked at the busy Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru, and his heart was filled with gratitude and relief. He knew that with their support, life in the courtyard would definitely get better and better. He walked to Lou Xiao'e and said softly: "Xiao'e, thank you. Your and Jingru's efforts have given me hope."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and looked at Yang Limin, and said firmly: "Limin, we are all family and should support each other. No matter what happens, we will face it together."

Yang Limin nodded, with a touch of emotion in his eyes: "Yes, as long as we unite together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."

In this ancient courtyard, although conflicts and challenges still exist, everyone's hearts gradually get closer. Friendship and trust are sublimated in this process, allowing everyone to experience the power of unity. Yang Limin, Lou Xiao'e and Qin Jingru stand shoulder to shoulder, firmly moving forward to welcome their bright future.

Yu Li came home very late, and her mother was waiting for her.

It was late at night, and the courtyard was shrouded in silence. The lights in the courtyard gradually went out, leaving only a few dim street lamps still silently illuminating the surroundings. At the door of Yu Li's house, an elderly woman was pacing back and forth anxiously, looking up at the gate of the courtyard from time to time.

"Why haven't you come back yet? It's so late." Yu Li's mother said to herself, her face full of worry.

Finally, there was a sound of footsteps, and Yu Li appeared at the gate. She walked quickly to the door, and saw her mother was still waiting for her. She said with a hint of apology, "Mom, I'm back. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Yu Li's mother hurried forward, took her hand, and asked with concern: "Lili, why did you come back so late? Are you busy with those yard things again?"

Yu Li nodded and smiled tiredly: "Yes, I was delayed by something today, so I came back late. Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."
